Not long after ease dropping on the locals for more juicy gossip I found myself hovering over ads posted on a bulletin board up front. They had the cutest small town postings. Not something I'm used to up in the city.
Do you need a tutor? Math, Science, Literature and History. It doesn't matter. Email me at Lanafixit...
"Hmm not quite what I'm looking for," I mumbled to myself before a picture of a tuxedo cat was peering at me. His eyes were huge like lakes of water and the bridge of his nose was white. He indeed was a cutey worth finding.
Have you seen me? My name is Chico. I'm a good boy and my owners Spencer and Lewis will pay $500 just to see me again. Please I want to come home.
"Sorry buddy haven't seen you-whoa check this one out." The image on the ad stood a possible 5'5 bronze pack of ground beef made to look like a human.
Want a better body, come on down to REX T's crossfit and we'll get you into shape.
"Pfft, yeah right Mr. Rex T. I can't even lift a banana. And by the way this is not a clear representation of people that do crossfit. It's body building." I said quietly.
Looking away from the ad I could see myself through the front window. I lifted up my arms.I almost resembled a scarecrow. These skinny arms and legs would do me no good. Just the thought... How could I ever be trained. Reaching out to my reflection in the glass I stopped and instead pretended to adjust my glasses. This isn't the time or place to have a pity party.
In the same window I noticed a paper stuck with what looked like gum. What happened? Ran out of tape. The pub door jingled behind me as I walked outside to investigate the paper. The gum stretched as I pulled the paper from the window. "Eh, disgusting." It was still fresh. I read its contents and the joy grew inside of me. "I can't believe it!"
Looking for a roommate. Male or Female. Doesn't matter just don't be a weirdo. No need to call. Just drop by and I might be home. And then we can discuss the living arrangements.
The order was all over the place.
2 bedroom 1 bathroom cabin in the middle of the woods. Rent is $250 a month.
"What!? $250 a month? Sure beats my $900 trashcan studio." I tucked the paper away and walked to my car.
What do I have to lose. It's a place to stay and lay my head at night. I closed the car door behind me and reclined the seat back. No, sleeping in the car wasn't ideal but when you had to leave town as fast as I did. Just makes it easier to make decisions. So, first thing in the morning I'll meet my new and hopefully nice roommate. I took off my glasses and placed them in the passenger seat. "Goodnight to you and goodnight to me."
